The son of the famed telenovela star is speaking out after being accused of deceiving and stealing money from his father. Telemundo

Eduardo Yáñez Jr. broke his silence after his father accused him of stealing money from him. "It wasn't about money, it was a physical problem between my father and I," he told "Al Rojo Vivo." "We were both at fault, the problem was not made by itself. He said he wanted to defend me but I think that he didn't reveal the real issues because it's a problem where I don't look good and he doesn't either." After watching the interview with Rodner Figueroa, the son of the telenovela star doesn't think he's on a path to move forward with his father. "I thought he had changed and now I don't know what to think," he added. "Things happen between families and I think it's due to resentment and hate that has happened in our lives and we have hurt each other."

Yáñez Jr. was asked to expand on his tweet where he wrote "actions speak louder than words." "I said things about the past and he returned that as a slap of things in the past," he said. "It does hurt when a father and you have lived through a lot and even though we have not been kind to each other, I wanted to see a message like 'good thing you're not dying' or something like that. I will have to deal with that, with that pain in my life. Maybe becoming a father will help me understand things that I don't understand at the moment because one has to grow and let life teach you lessons. That's how it's been since I was 2 years old and my mother and father split and I had to live with my grandmother who I saw die of cancer... there's a lot of things I've lived through that I've kept in my heart. It breaks my heart having a person that supposedly has love for you and only shows it when it's convenient for him." Watch the entire interview below and tell us what you think!

The problems between father and son have been on-going for months. Yáñez said in his apology to the reporter he slapped that he reacted in that manner because he touched a sensitive subject. "Nobody has forced me to come here and talk to you as nobody obligates me to write on Twitter or anywhere esle," he said during the interview. "I want to apologize to Paco as my behaviour was not right. I am in agreement with all of you, the public, the press and everyone else that is now talking about me. My behaviour was not right, I just felt that Paco got involved in a subject that is way too personal to me, it's too sensitive. It's about defending my family and not allowing them to touch my son. At that moment I thought he was very insistent and I perceived it even making light of the situation regarding my son and I couldn't handle it, I lost."

"I asked in a very respectful and educated tone that I wasn't going to talk about my personal life and he insisted because I can only imagine that that's his nature or what they obligate him to ask," he added. "I also want to apologize to all of my actor collegues that were there that didn't need to presence something so unpleasant. I know have to take some time, return to my country and with the people that love and know me. I may need to look for help and start over because I am human, I make errors because I am a son of God. I need to work on myself and I am taking a big lesson from all of this. I will not put my head down, I will not talk about my personal life."
